Flipping the pages of the magazine is awesome - the ads on every other page are just like time travel.
An ad for an oscilloscope in a computer magazine! Heaven!
My mom subscribed to Byte during that time period, and I remember counting the days until the next issue would arrive. There were so many cool articles about fundamental things, many of which were over my head as a high school kid. My favorite part was Ciarcia's Circuit Cellar.
In my view all of the computer magazines went downhill (for me) when personal computers began to mature, and the articles stopped being about nuts and bolts.
